“Cannot find the file instmsiw.exe (or one of its components). Make sure the path
and filename are correct and that all the required libraries are available.”

“Cannot find the file MSIEXEC (or one of its components). Make sure the path
and filename are correct and that all the required libraries are available.”
The Windows Installer (MSI) can be installed only on NT SP6, so the error
messages you see using earlier service packs are due to an MSI incompatibility
(CSCdy05049).
Installation Notes - Solaris Platforms
The following sections describe actions you must take when installing the VPN
Client on a Solaris platform.
Uninstall an Older VPN Client If Present on a Solaris Platform
If you have a previous version of the VPN Client running under Solaris, you must
uninstall the older VPN Client before installing a new VPN Client. You are not
required to uninstall an old VPN Client, if one is present, before installing a new
VPN Client for Linux or Mac OS X.
Refer to the Cisco VPN Client User Guide for Linux, Solaris, and Mac OS X,
Chapter 2, for complete uninstallation information.
Disable the ipfilter Firewall Kernel Module Before Installing the VPN Client on a
Solaris Platform
If you have an IP firewall installed on your workstation, the reboot after
installation of the VPN Client takes an inordinate amount of time. This is caused
by a conflict between the vpnclient kernel module cipsec and the ipfilter firewall
module. To work around this issue, disable the ipfilter firewall kernel module
before you install the VPN Client (CSCdw27781).
